Cayucas Zach Yudin formed this five-piece to flesh out his solo material (mercifully changing the project’s name from Oregon Bike Trails in the process).

• Colin Stetson True virtuosos are hard to find in indie rock—probably why bass saxophonist Stetson has found work recording with everyone from Sinead O’Connor to TV on the Radio, and played extensively in Bon Iver’s touring band. His own music is more challenging—wonky, free jazz–derived solo saxophone odysseys that sound impossible as the work of just one person. With Justin Walter. Barboza. 7 p.m. $13 adv.

The Dandy Warhols The ever-eccentric Portland band is touring behind a reissue of its classic album Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia. With the Shivas. Showbox at the Market, 1426 First Ave., 628-3151, showboxonline.com. 8 p.m. $22.50 adv./$25 DOS.

Grace Potter & The Nocturnals Potter’s rich, emotive singing voice is the locus of her rock band, whose staid, backward-looking classic-rock arrangements make it stand out even more. With Lukas Nelson, Promise of the Real. The Paramount, 911 Pine St., 467-5520, stgpresents.org. 7 p.m. $25.75. All ages.

With The Redwood Plan, No Grave. Crocodile, 2200 Second Ave., 441-7416, thecrocodile.com. 9 p.m. $15 adv. All ages.

Julia Massey & The Five Finger Discount This Noise for the Needy show has a pop-rock-leaning lineup, headlined by Massey’s dexterous piano-pop workouts. With The Great Um, The Jesus Rehab, Tangerine. Conor Byrne, 5140 Ballard Ave. N.W., 784-3640, conorbyrnepub.com. 9 p.m. $8.

• Pure Bathing Culture may be the opening band at this show, but it’ll be worth showing up early to catch the Portland duo’s immersive dream pop. Its full-length debut, Moon Tides, is out in August. With Bellamaine, Poor Moon. Neumos. 8 p.m. $10 adv.

With Sun Rai. The Triple Door, 216 Union St., 838-4333, thetripledoor.net. 7:30 p.m. $19 adv./$20 DOS. All ages.

Geoff Rickly The Thursday frontman is one of the latest musicians to connect with fans through Reddit, but not in the way one might expect: After getting robbed in New York, an enterprising group of Redditors helped him track down his stolen phone. With Vinnie Caruana. Vera Project. 6 p.m. $10 adv./$12 DOS. All ages.

Valleys The latest from Marc St. Louis and Tillie Perks, Are You Going to Stand There and Talk Weird All Night, sees the Montreal art-rock duo veering slightly away from its earlier post-rock work to incorporate more electronic elements. With Weeknight. Sunset Tavern. 7:30 p.m. $8 adv./$10 DOS.

Krizz Kaliko A longtime Tech N9ne collaborator, Kaliko creates music that doesn’t fall too far from the aggro, in-your-face street rap of his Strange Music bosses. With ¡Mayday!, Stevie Stone, Cool Nutz, Jay Barz. Crocodile. 8 p.m. $16 adv. All ages.

Simon Says Die This Vancouver, Wash., band plays breakneck metalcore in the vein of Atreyu or Killswitch Engage. With A Crime of Passion, Toarn, Esoson. El Corazon, 109 Eastlake Ave. E., 381-3094, elcorazonseattle.com. 7 p.m. $8 adv./$10 DOS. All ages.
